Hi, like many others I also have problem with camera on my S5(G900F). Reboot helps in my case, but after a couple of hours camera stops working. Is there any way to fix that maybe using shell or something else, just without rebooting? Thanks
Tried clearing data/cache for the camera app?

Yes, but with no success
Do a clean wipe cache from recovery n see if ur occurring the problem continuously
Seems that Viber cause the problem. They fixed that in latest update. After updating everything is ok with camera..
I was experiencing same issue, camera was just black with no response and when this happened phone was getting hot and one core of CPU was always at full speed, thus battery was draining way too fast.
I noticed that it has stopped doing that lately, I'm also viber user, so it might be related to the update, anyway I'm happy that it finally is fixed :good:

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on the N10 as well or if I just got a fluke.
Front / Back camera worked for first 5 minutes out of the box. After going to a different application and trying to get back to camera, camera app fails to connect. Restart tablet, same problem. Force close gallery/camera app, wipe data/cache for the app and re-open. Same error, camera no longer displays at all.
Factory reset, camera works for a few minutes, try to open it again after leaving, crashes the same way. No third party apps can access camera either. Tried many factory resets, even with only gApps installed same camera prob.
Waiting for RMA now, but has anyone else run into this or something similar? :crying:

I had this exact problem on my galaxy nexus. I finally pinned it down to an app that controlled the LED (like a flashlight, or torch app). I removed it and it worked fine after that.
Yup looks to be a 3rd party app since it works after factory reset. I would reset it again but choose not to have it reinstall the apps automatically. Then just do the process of elimination until you find the problomatic app. Worth a shot.

Thanks for the advice but I've factory reset multiple times and have only gApps installed, same thing happens :laugh:
I'm having the same problem, both front and back camera are not working properly. I'll try factory reset later this day.
Do you have the cameras working already?
I'm having the same issue too. Today's the first day with my Nexus 10, and right out of the box the Camera doesn't work. Never loaded even once.
Has anyone else had this issue and was able to fix it?
Same problem here! Do you think rooting and flashing CM might solve the issue?
Same here. It seems its only the stock camera tho. I installed 2 different cameras from Play Store & both those work perfect. Camera ICS+ & HDR+ both worked for me.

I tried these apps but it's still not working for me. Hope it's not hardware related. It worked the first day I had my nexus.
EDIT: Installing CyanogenMod solved the issue =)
EDIT 2: Well it actually solved it for just a day or two, now it's back!
I'm also having this issue too it seems. Created a post about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251337 and thought it was related to my rooting of the tablet since it worked okay before I tried that. Currently on 4.2.0 stock and OEM locked and the issues is still there, starting to think it's a hardware issue.

Definitely a hardware issue. I did an RMA with Google ...the new device they sent me has no issues.
Try that if your device is still under warranty! Google is pretty good at getting replacements sent to you within a week!
Turns out it wasn't a hardware issues, the problem I was having was apparently related to the sync of contacts which for some reason completely disabled the camera until such a time as the contacts were synced.
Hi everyone,
since 4 days, i can't use any photo application, a message tells me that the device can't connect to the camera. Youtube is also not working (dunno if it's because of the same thing, but the problem appeared the same day). I tried many stuff, and the camera is not used by any other app. I did a wipe cache, data and Dalvik and even tried a factory reset without any success. Has anyone an idea how to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

might be hardware problem
Have you tried installing a 3th party camera app from the playstore? If that also does not work it's probably like Slvano2 said a hardware problem.

No sadly not, it might be harware problem as ajokay and silvano2 said (which is weird to me since youtube doesn'T work either and the two problems occured at the same time...). Anyway my phone is still under warranty, so I think I will send it back, but the huawei support is not really fast...
Hey,
can anyone tell me, if it's somehow related to the new app version Google Camera 4.4.020.163412804, that nearly every time i quit the app, it force closes? Sometimes when I switch to front cam, too.
Thanks!
Having the same issue. Tried reinstalling, erasing data but nothing fixed it.
Nexus 6P
LineageOS 14.1 latest nightly
Franco Kernel r55
its gapps related. are you on open gapps? if so, try beans gapps. fixed the issue for me on du 11.7.
also do you have any mods installed, like arise sound?
Issue present on opengapps package. Beans gapps doesn't crash. Tested it myself with arise mods and others
I wrote regarding with this issue in thread Google Camera keep stopping when switching to front camera after Nougat 7.1.2 update. Best answer in thread I got is to force app stop and clear cache and with restart in safe mode. In several occasions front camera again showed up and again crashed after couple of days of use. I think that is hardware related issue, lot of people complained of front camera switching crash. I've noticed that my front camera crashes when switching camera in low light conditions. Maybe some aperture or light sensor problem.
Anyway, i bought front camera module on eBay and I will replace camera in service.
I'll let you know of result.
Anyone with same impressions and experience?

On the stock 8.0 ROM? No. Wipe data and restart. Uninstall/reinstall. No issues on 2 N6P devices.
EDIT: If that doesn't work, try wiping the cache partition and dalvik cache

see my second post here
Hi guys, I have been dealing with s8 camera problem for months now and decided to ask before I smash my phone into the wall.
Problem looks simple, I start recording and it randomly stops. Its followed by quick flash(the one that you see when switching the camera on) and looks like camera is restarting. It happens after 2,5, 10 seconds or sometimes doesn't happen at all. I recorded a video of my baby and after 20s I found out that recording stopped and I didn't get anything. I tried to use a camera in safe mode, seems to be working fine there.
Does it mean that some apps interfere with camera app? Also tried cleaning the cache which didn't help. Is there a way to find what apps are causing the issue? Is factory reset best option in my case? I would add that I can see those weird flashes even when I'm not recording and camera is simply switched on.
I would appreciate any help guys. Thank you.
Do you try some other camera apk ?

Yes, they worked fine and didn't have any issues. I would like to use an original app tho because I find it much quicker and less complicated. Wonder if it's maybe related to Samsung cloud sync. I'm just too scared to factory reset lol
So you are saying that U never tried to solve the problem by doing a factory reset? That should be second thing on your list, after restarting. xD
Lately I couldn't find a solution to bring back gaming mode on my s8!
I think it started after i did a factory reset! Please i need a solution. I can't play games smoothly anymore!
Help!!
Edit:
While all the three other options ( entertainment, optimised and high performance) are working only gaming mode keeps stopping and system stops as the pop up notification says.

Try going into settings and apps. And clear the cache
Sometimes that on its own can fix issues. Maybe uninstall updates. Maybe a update broke something for you

Thank you for your time and support...
I did as you mentioned but the problem is still there. I even rebooted to safe mode and wiped the cache partition. The problem is still the same.. i don't know what to do any further and mainly if possible i dont want to do another factory reset because it's a hassle to back up everything and start again from the scratch not knowing if it fix the issue :/
